pink paladin allura

ok, first, let me say that I agree that Allura would have been in the right to mistrust Keith for being Galra, especially given how shady he was acting for the whole of season 2; including trying to get Allura to trust the BoM.

But–I don’t think that’s what happened. Allura’s reaction to Keith being Galra is different from how she treats the BoM. Allura, at no point, is quiet about her feelings about the BoM. She, rightfully, points out at every turn how they could be tricking team voltron (and just because they weren’t doesn’t mean that couldn’t have been the case, or even that it wasn’t Likely the case) but she doesn’t say Anything to Keith. 

And then, when apologizing, Allura says this;

Allura thinks of Keith as family, she trusts him completely. She was simply,,,angry with him. And this shows in her reactions, the way she completely ignores him? pretends not to hear him when he speaks? I’ve been a teenager and that’s how they react when they’re angry.

And although the show frames it that way, I don’t think Allura is angry because Keith is Galra, I think she feels betrayed. Because she trusted him in a way he didn’t trust hey. In Arc of Taujeer, Allura shares some of her insecurities with Keith; not something she does often. Not only does Keith rebuff her with his “not all Galra” spiel but he also doesn’t open up about his suspicions that he may be Galra. In short, he didn’t trust Allura with that information.

Now, this doesn’t make Keith a bad person, I think he has reason to feel afraid to share his feelings. It’s a scary thing to do, and Allura had been very vocal about how she felt about the Galra. However, I also see Allura’s perspective and how it must of felt to have this person–perhaps the first person since waking up–that she does trust absolutely, and feel that she found a new family. Only to find that he does not trust her in the same way.

Not only that, but it also reframes every time Keith argued for the BoM. Allura, upon finding out that Keith is part Galra, learns what we as the audience had known for a long time; that “not all Galra” was him focusing on his own pain and how he fit into things and not because he genuinely believed that there was no chance the BoM could betray them. In short, not only was he not open with Allura but he also prioritized how he felt over her feelings, and even the safety of the team.

Hello everyone! We’re a Steven Yeun fan club trying to raise money to help relieve the Flint water crisis, an issue about which Steven has often been vocal on social media. This issue may have faded into the background of news coverage, but it’s with no doubt of the utmost importance. Flint residents will have to rely on bottled water, filters, and relief initiatives until its old, corroded lead water pipes will have been completely replaced (as estimated for 2020). We wish to bring the fandom together to raise money to provide Flint residents (particularly children) with lead-mitigating meals that could help alleviate the health impacts caused by exposure to Flint’s water lead contamination. We’re collaborating with The Food Bank of Eastern Michigan to raise $3,000 that would provide 18,000 lead-mitigating meals Just $1 donated by you provides 6 lead-mitigating meals, thanks to their partnerships.
